Hi, I'm new to this, but started performing in 1961 with a Hofner Colorama. Iv'e had a Gibson Melody maker, and it was a'one trick pony' did it well, but was limiting. I have used all sorts of guitars but now use a 1970's Tele with a B bender, a home-built baritone and a banjo. If I take a backup, it's generally a cheapo (£185.00) Vintage Tele that plays like a dream. I also have a Squire Strat built out of bits from a mate's guitar shop that I wouldn't part with and have rebuilt another Squire bought from our local tip shop for £10.00, this going to be given to my son in law if he proves able to learn to play OK. Nela's comment about headstock snobbery is valid, if you can make it give you the sound you want for whatever genre of music you are playing, if you can play a fulll night without cursing it or having aching shoulders or cramp, the who cares if it's a Gretch or a Banzai!
